Extreme Novice - need a little help

[wineguruchgo]

One of the things I learned on the Wine Fundamentals DVD that I rented over the weekend is that there are three kinds of wine tasters in the world.

Super Tasters (25%), Non-Tasters(25%) and everyone else (50%).

To the Super Tasters much of the worlds wines will taste bitter because they have a heightened sense of bitterness. This goes for food also.

The Non-Tasters are unable to detect when a wine subtly changes. My brother is a non-taster.

Then there is the rest of us. I certainly fall into the rest.

If someone is a Super Taster they generally will go for the sweeter wines in the world because they physically just can't handle much else.

Maybe the Germans are Super Tasters!
